I used to think that this was the stupidest show ever put on television, But I never gave it a chance. Now it is on Nick At Nite I have begun to slowly but surely grown to like it. Josie Davis is my favorite out of them all.And I still cannot believe that is Nicole Eggert as jamie. At any rate the plots are sophmoric yet somehow seem to always get a laugh out of me (maybe I am getting more sophmoric in my old age, although keep in mind i am only a few years older than josie and Nicole and much younger than Scott and Willie) But I just wanted to say I like it and as corny as the theme song is I find myself always singing it. Gosh What has happened to me? Anyway give it a run you might grow to like it also.
I rented this series for my 11 year old daughter to watch with me,as I had loved it when I was a kid and it was on first-run. I'm happy to say that she loves it, too. It's a wholesome show for kids to watch that is amusing and has a good moral to every show. I find it very refreshing to watch, and enjoy it myself, even after all these years. It's hard to find shows for my daughter to watch that aren't filled with sexual references, even when the show is supposed to be aimed at kids. Yes, the show is dated a bit, but if you're looking for a fun, entertaining, wholesome show for your kids to watch that hasn't been shown to rerun death already on TV, this is the show for you.
Charles in Charge had one of the greatest premises for a sitcom ever: that grownups really DO understand, that they are human and fallible, yet reliable and caring. I have come to identify with the noble notion that as adults, we all have a responsibility to help the youth in our community through the rough spots in their lives. I found it excruciatingly ironic that Josie Davis, despite playing a role that revolved around "the beauty within," felt like the "ugly sister."
Several people have commented that the Jaimie character was their first crush, but I always thought Josie Davis was hands down the more beautiful of the two. Having seen her since on 90210, I gotta say, "YOWZA!" Was I right or what? Inner beauty rocks, and Josie's got it inside and out!

At first, Charles In Charge didn't seem like a very good show, to me.. in fact, I found it pretty corny, with the theme music and all the predictable stories. Sure, the music may seem a tad bit corny, and the stories predictible, but it's still a likable and charming sitcom. Willie Aames almost MAKES the show. He is downright hilarious at times and acts his part wonderfully. Scott and him play off of each other wonderfully. The rest of the cast is well balanced, with the grandfather constantly hating Aames character, and the sisters fighting and disagreeing.
Once I started really watching the show, I found myself liking it more and more, and now watch it every morning, if I'm awake. In short, this usually isn't a very deep show with a large message to send (Although almost every show does have some sort of good message), it's a simple, entertaining show that will usually put you in a good mood. Seven out of ten.

I am out-raged that Charles In Charges is labled as very boring show. for one, this great TV classic has millions of fans like myself that love this show. it is an insult to not only me but millions of fans out there that love Scott Baio's works. both Charles In Charge and Happy Days we're one of the best 2 TV show ever. please remember, charles in charge was popular because it was funny hilarious and just a goodtime. it was the 80's for peet's sake. my heart gos out to Ellen Travolta John Travolta's sister, for doing a wonderful job in playing Aunt Lilian on the show. and also, if we are crazy for like this show or Happy Days, then there are people out there that are probably crazy for like hogan's heros or pettygoat junction or whatever. if we are crazy for that then the rest of you should be in a mental institution... dear god. the pace of television is ridiculous. and it is getting more and more out-landish. where has television went wrong? and Scott Baio is indeed... a STAR.
